"Transnational labor citizenship"

Over at Salon's "How the World Works", Andrew Leonard has a review of Jennifer Gordon's paper Transnational Labor Citizenship, which advocates for unions to drop their protectionist and anti-immigrant activities, instead focusing on organizing immigrant workers before they enter the U.S..

It's a good idea for a country where "pro-labor" has come to be more closely related with nationalism than internationalism.
